My husband and I were there in mid-April for 2 weeks. We were pleased with the room. If you are looking for a room with a beautiful view....this is the place to stay!

We had a wonderful time in PV and loved staying at Costa Sur. It is an older poperty but it is very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes you would need and a coffee pot, although, I would recommend Coffee Cathedral near the OXXO bus stop. The room was very comfortable and the beach view was... More

This was my second time to Puerto Vallarta, first time we spent closer to downtown. We were happy with the hotel. Nice staff, not too pushy about the time shares, but we did end up unplugging our phone as some guy from the front desk asked us multiple times to go on the presentation. Felt like it would be a...

I recently stayed at PV's Costa Sur Resort & Spa for my Birthday (last week 5/3-5/10). I LOVE PV & had a BLAST. Costa Sur is a nice hotel to stay. It is located away from the hustle & bustle of downtown & has a nice private beach/lagoon. We took the bus everywhere. The bus stop is right across the... More

Just returned from our fourth trip to PV - and our first stay at Costa Sur. We found the staff to be without exception courteous, attentive, well informed and eager to help in any way they could. We felt like they genuinely cared about us and wanted to make sure we had a wonderful time. One unexpected bonus worth mentioning... More

Costa Sur is a bit like wine. You can buy a crappy bottle of wine that tastes wonderful with good food and good friends or you can drop $200 for a bottle that tastes like the $8 stuff. Costa Sur is the $8 bottle that with the right people feels like much more. Think of it as the place where... More

Thanks to the wonderful staff and our wedding coordinators (Gelsey & Mabel) at Costa Sur we couldn't have asked for a more amazing event! Everything was taken care of with great care and with attention to the smallest details (from napkin colours to the bouquet to our dinner menu and, and, and...). Our guests really enjoyed themselves and were constantly... More

My husband and I own thru Interval and we traded for Costa Sur last minute. I was a little worried about only having 1 restaurant on site since we were going to do all-inclusive for 5 days, but the food was AWESOME! There was a buffet for a couple days and then mostly order from the menu the rest of... More

Dear Jaelynn, We are so glad you enjoyed the time you spent with us. That kayak ride was long! but when you are on vacation 3 hours is nothing if you are in the ocean overlooking beautiful colorful fish. I will make sure to congratulate Enrique on his great service. Hope to see you back in Costa Sur very soon! More

We traded out our timeshare through interval last minute and this was the only place available in Puerto Vallarta. We should have taken that as a sign. We knew this would be no Four Seasons, but it was more than disappointing. Although we had reserved 7 nights, we only stayed for one and then found much better accomodations elsewhere. It... More

My husband and I have been coming to Costa Sur (orignally known as Costa Vida) for the last 16 years, and have seen a great deal of improvements made, especially in the last year when new King mattresses (super comfortable!) and flat screen TV's finally replaced the older ones. In our studio room, the free Wi-Fi worked well fairly consistently... More
